thanks to the firat answer but i cant seem to peel anything off the film as its really thin and i have no nails. also what type of soap should i use. PS dont get dollar shops in UK!)

Answer 1

You'll need some warm soapy water (A few drops of dishwashing liquid in a cup of water will do), a sponge, a small squeegee, and a sharp razor blade. Use the sponge to wet the glass and the backside of the tint film. Slowly unroll the film over the glass smoothing it out with the squeegee as you go. Then work the squeegee from the center outward to get rid of any trapped air bubbles. Trim the edges carefully with the razor blade. If you're careful it can look as good as a factory job.

Answer 2

Russian?? Get it at the dollar store? J/K.... you need to mix soap and water and spray the inside of the window with it, cut the tint to the size of the window, then you peel the clear backing off the tint and apply it to the window, buy a little squeegee to smooth out the bubbles, or your drivers license works well too.

Answer 3

I have worked on cars for 31 years and still I take my car to be professionally tinted. Tint shops use computers to cut the tint and can have you in and out in a day. A couple days with out rolling down the windows for the water to dry and your done. All for about 200 for a sedan four door. Acouple specks of dust and bubbles of air and your tint looks like a amatuer has done it. And professionals can cope with any problems from difficult cars. That is why we use professionals.

Answer 4

yes there is a clear backing on the film that has to come off, take 2 pieces of masking tape on each side of the film on a corner and pull to get the backing off.
